coolant intrusion excessive coolant consumption

[Mark S.]

We will never see the numbers - we will see lawsuits and a ‘new’ recall…

The powerbomb already has a terrible reputation out there…

If/when that happens then we can talk some more. Ford has been producing EcoBoost platform engines for more than a decade. Seem like if there were that many engines (every one of them according to you) with problems your predictions would already have come true. As far as I know, the issue of coolant intrusion isn't widespread enough to affect reliability ratings by any of the major ratings agencies. If you have data otherwise please share it. I contend that while there are some defective EcoBoost engines--which is true of every manufacturer's products--the overwhelming majority of EcoBoost engines function as designed. Time will tell...

I mean they have…there are at least 10 lawsuits over the 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0…

Plenty documented out there as well -

The latest Ford TSB on it is just another attempt to try to ‘fix’ something that is un-fixable.

Yet Ford doesn't seem deterred in continuing to produce the engines. Can you share your source of information about the ten lawsuits? Have any been actually litigated and/or settled yet?

As far as I can tell the lawyers claim they have completed their investigation. No litigation, nor resolution yet. I probably don't have to tell you that a lawyer claims in a lawsuit is not factual, it's a starting position for one side of an argument.

ecoboost 2.0 coolant intrusion lawsuits

Yeah, I did that. It appears the majority of those links refer to two or three lawsuits. You said at least ten. I assumed you were keeping track. Do you have info about all ten lawsuits or is that number just a guess?

Two questions on the Coolant Leak issue:
1) If it's the Head Gasket causing leaks into the cylinders, am I wrong to assume that this would be covered by the 5yr / 60k Powertrain warranty?

2) My '21 OB is at 53k miles. And the coolant reservoir tank is bone dry with no noticeable leaks anywhere. I was going to add coolant. But now thinking I should take it in to have service check the engine. Thoughts??

All powertrain components should be covered. Yes, you should take it in. The issue is almost certainly a leaking water pump. BTW, put some coolant in the reservoir before you drive it again.
